Other Things to Think About
For Jack, going home required some serious renovation. Remodeling and renovating a house to meet your needs is usually a very wise investment. Kitchen and bath improvements can see a 75 percent return on investment when you sell the home. Here are some online resources that can help you get started on your project:
- ContractorNet: This site is a great source of info on all aspects of finding, hiring, and working with a contractor. ContractorNet is the Web's largest database of insured, state-licensed contractors.
- If your parents have disabilities or special needs, ask your contractor if they're familiar with the concepts of Universal Design in order to make sure that the household amenities are easily accessible to everyone.
- Even if you don't plan to do the work yourself, the Better Homes and Garden Home Improvement Encyclopedia is a great source of basic information on the different aspects of home projects.
